Excerpt from The Doane Family: I. Deacon John Doane, of Plymouth; II. Doctor John Done, of Maryland; And Their Descendants; With Notes Upon English Families of the Name Several attempts, with greater or less degree of success, have been made to collect and compile the records of the Doane family in Amer ica, and in this connection several individuals in particular should have more than a passing notice. Beginning about the year 1880, the late John A. Doane of Atlanta, Ga., spent much thought, time and money in compiling a manuscript record of his ancestors. He died before completing the work, and the result of his researches, kindly placed at our disposal by his fam ily, is incorporated into this book. About the same time Alfred J. Doane of Jersey City, be came interested in the subject of the family history, and the account we have given of Israel Doane (235) and his descendants is the re sult of his extensive correspondence and persistent research among original records of Bucks and Chester counties, Pa. Beginning with its issue of June 9, 1885, the Doylestown Democrat of Doylestown, Pa., published a series of papers on the genealogy of the Pennsylvania branch of the family written by the late Dr. Buck man of Philadelphia. On Dr. Buckman's death a year or two later. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
